Stupid names that parents give their children...

[Logic 0]

Homer
No I'm not kidding someone named there child homer.

I don't understand the trend of giving little boys feminine sounding names. Like Keegan, Kaden, Tristan, etc. What ever happend to manly names like Fred or Tony.

 

[FROGGEman2]

Elijah.

Why, mother, why?

 

[SirCannonFodder]

And then my name, it's so incredibly Dutch, it's only properly pronounceable in Dutch. You can't pronounce Bas properly in English without making it sound completely retarded. And that's pretty crappy when you're planning on living in an English speaking country.

Just Bas, or short for Sebastian, like with me? I've got a surname that can only be pronounced properly in Dutch as well, it features the dreaded "oe" (which, to most people's surprise is simply pronounced like the English "oo"). Seeing people struggling to work out how that's supposed to be pronounced is somewhat amusing, but tends to get old.

Epiphany.

That's not a name, dammit. Just because a word in the English language sounds nice, it doesn't mean you should name a person with it.

You do know that something like 95% of names are just words from some language, right? Plenty of countries use words from their native language as names, so why shouldn't English-speaking countries do the same?

What's wrong with naming your child after a great writer?

"What's your kid going to do at a school with a name like Moonbeam or Wave or Horseradish or whatever they call 'em."

Ref?

GTA: Vice City.

I'm Tom, my brother's Tim.

Join me in my lament.

So together you're Tim-Tom? Where's my tea? [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Tam_Slam]

 

[Energylegzz]

Apple pie hitler Stevenson Apple pie being the first name hitler being the middle name and stevenson being the last name

 

[Numb1lp]

I remember there was a Darth Vader. Damn, I feel sorry for these kids.

What does that stat have to do with what I said? And what's your point? Other countries may use words from their language as names, but English-speaking ones don't, so a name like Epiphany just comes across as silly.

 

[Mcupobob]

Tree
and umm my name I guess is kinda stuiped
Btw it's Donovan
do-no-van

It has a tone of class to it actually.

My name or Tree?

 

[Fritzvalt]

My name is Lane, and I've always felt that it sucked horribly.

 

[Low Key]

Former Minnesota Timberwolves player with an interesting name, Cherokee Parks, decided to name his son something strange like Baseball Parks. He is from Orange County though. That really explains a lot.

 

[pixiejedi]

Snip- my fiancee is trying to get me to name our son Cougar Mangler as a middle name, so at least I'll be able to spread the resentment.

Oh, man. Cougar Mangler? That's fucking awesome!

Your not the first person to tell me that. I kinda find it funny, he's kinda convinced me to tack it on as a middle name. My poor little spawn

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

A guy I know his middle name is Constable... Seriously what kind of name is that?! Also Seven, yes a person actually went and named their child Seven. The saddest part is he asked his parents, his mum had just watched that episode of Seinfeld before going into labour.

I wouldn't call my name "stupid", but I was certainly easy fodder growing up with "Adelaide". For those who aren't Australia, Adelaide is the capital city in Australia and I got everybody giving their two cents. Mind you, I was at work one day and this guy goes "Adelaide hey! That's a incest capital of Australia!" O_O "Wow, sir. Thank you for telling me that." And I had a teacher call me April until I grabbed a map and screamed at her. That went down well >.>

Okay, antidotes aside, I think NO celebrity should be able to name their own child. Actually, there should be an IQ test before you're allowed to have a child just so you won't name them dumb things.

Also Seven, yes a person actually went and named their child Seven. The saddest part is he asked his parents, his mum had just watched that episode of Seinfeld before going into labour.

Thank you for proving my point.

 

[Deadlydorito]

Dean.

Makes me think what the hell? Silly woman.

 

[Endocrom]

I know of a kid named Danger, he's 2 right now.

So, yeah.
